Very useful marathon chaser on his day but returned from break with two heavy defeats over hurdles in October (2m7f/3m) and needs a huge boost from the refitted cheekpieces here.
Unexposed 7yo who easily won three-runner maiden at Exeter (2m5f, good to firm) in March; finished rather weakly when favourite for handicap debut at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) in October but it would be dangerous to write him off after that run.
Veteran who gained the last two of his seven hurrdle wins over C&D (soft/heavy); far too inconsistent to rely upon now, though, and was well beaten here on seasonal debut in October.
Signed off Dan Skelton with two wins this summer (2m6f/2m5f) and ran well for a long way before weakening into third on recent stable debut at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft); needs to find extra here, though.
Very lightly raced 6yo who made all under regular partner Ella Herbison in Ffos Las maiden (2m4f, soft) in April; makes handicap debut after eight-month absence but his winning form has been well advertised by the placed horses since and he's open to more improvement over this new trip.
Slightly disappointing when fourth at Bangor last time but gave good account when placed over C&D (good) on seasonal debut and, with Jamie Brace claiming 5lb, he has pretty solid each-way claims.
Returned from break with two good efforts last month and was unlucky to be hampered by penultimate-flight faller when fourth at Kempton (3m, good) on latter occassion; remains on workable mark and can make his presence felt.
Well beaten over 2m on handicap debut in the spring but wasn't disgraced when upped to 2m7f and fitted with cheekpieces for last month's reappearance outing; not out of this if that outing brought him on.
Front-runner who won at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) last December and was placed over C&D (soft) in February; may not have been ideally suited by good ground when making satisfactory seasonal debut last month; no surprise if she gives this a good shot.
Won over fences in France in autumn 2023 but returned from long absence with two disappointing hurdle runs (2m5f/3m) for new stable this autumn; others have much less to prove.
Justified skinny odds in 2m3f maiden here (good) in March but is yet to build on that performance and was behind Love Of Neymore when last of seven on seasonal debut at Wincanton (2m5f, good; first-time tongue-tie); upped in trip here; needs to raise her game.
